HARRISON BONUS PLAN VOTED 0UT Vinson and Patman Bills Lose in Committee. No Record Vote. (Continued From First Page.) Barkley, Gore, Clark, Byrd, Lonergan, Black, Gerry and Guffey, Democrats, and Keyes, Metcalf and Hastings, Re- publicans. For the Patman bill: Connally, Democrat: Couzens and Capper, Re- publicans, and La Follette, Progressive. Chairman Harrison voted present. | George, one of the authors of *he mo- tion, was not present for the vote. Senators Bailey. Democrat, of North Carolina, and Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, also were absent. Harrison Bill Wins. Harrison then moved to substitute his compromise plan for the Vinson bill. The vote, 12 to 8, follows: For the Harrison bill: Harrison. King, ‘Walsh, Barkley, Connally, Gore, Bailey, Byrd, Lonergan, Gerry and Gufli Democrats, and Keyes, Republican. For the Vinson bill: George, | Clark and Black, Democrats: Couzens, Metcalfe, Hastings and Capper, Re- publicans, and La Follette, Progressive. Senator Costigan was the only mem- ber of the committee not recorded on | this vote. The vote on the amend- | ment to permit the President to use | the work relief funds follows For: King. Walsh, Gore. Clark, | Byrd, Lonergan and Gerry, Democrats, and Keyes, Metcalf, Hastings and Capper. Republicans. | Against: Harrison, Barkley, Con- nally. Black and Guflfey. Democrats. and Couzens, Republican, and La Fol- lette, Progressive. Senate leaders meanwhile foresaw | the possibility of a clash between the | bonus and the anti-lynching bill. With an open filibuster against the enti-lynch bill ready to start and the bonus issue voted out today, veteran Senators said a clash was al- most inevitable. They predicted a motion would be forthcoming to take up the bonus bill, which would automatically sidetrack | the anti-lynching measure. Harrison. who will handle the bonus | measure, is one of the Southern Demo- crats determined that the Senate shall not act on the lynching proposal. Ticklish Decision Seen. This issue would confront many Benators with a ticklish decision. If | they voted to take up the bonus bill, they would run the risk of antagoniz- ing those voters who eagerly desire the anti-lynch bill. If they voted to keep the latter measure before the Sen- ate, they might incur the wrath of those who are seeking quick action on the bonus. In general, only South- | ern Senators would welcome the choice. On the Senate floor, Southern Sen- ators were organized today for the most open and determined filibuster conducted in the Senate for years.| They flatly announced tiey would not permit the Costigan-Wagner anti- lynching bill to pass. A motion by Senator Costigan, | Democrat, of Colorado, one of the bill's authors, to begin consideration was pending before the chamber. This placed the burden upon the| Southerners, who either had to talk or face the vote. With so many willing to join the move to block the bill it looked like an easy task to prevent action until the bonus and other big issues crowd | into the Senate demanding action. Then the pressure would be trans- ferred to the bill's friends, to keep| it up for debate. ‘ The bill would place heavy penal-! ties on officers who by negligence per- mitted mobs to seize prisoners. Coun- ties where such incidents occurred would be liable for damages. Costigan appealed for the bill yes- terday, saying “national wrongs de-| mand national remedies.” - MEMORIAL FOR GRANT Preparations are being made to honor the memory of Gen. U. S.| Grant Saturday at his statue in Union Square, at the head of the Mall. It will be the 113th anniversary of his | birth. Officials of the National Capital Parks today announced that a per-| mit has been granted to Joseph W. | ‘Wells, secretary of William B. Cush- ing Camp, No. 30, Sons of Union Vet- erans of the Civil War, to hold memorial exercises and place wreaths. | The program will be held Saturday | afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and the Marine Band will furnish music. —_— Marries on Death Bed.
